The reason why we tap out and we don't follow our dreams and we end up finding ourselves working somewhere that we don't want for money that we need is because during those types of situations, when times got rough, when the crowd wasn't watching, that's what you thought when the weather wasn't right, when you didn't have the right gear, that's when you said to yourself that oh, I don't want to do this today, and then, to that day turned into, I'll do it next week, next week turned into, I'll do it next month.
Imagine going from the disciplined life of a Marine to becoming a motivational speaker who inspires countless others.
